The Dean Cork
We had the best stay at the Dean Hotel. I highly recommend. Everything you want to see is a 5-35 min walk. Great for exploring the city. The staff was exceptional and went above and beyond. While visiting Ireland, I found out my great aunt had passed away. I was in need of finding a place to print ...

Moxy Cork
Very helpful staff. Lovely clean rooms. Although we didn’t have a dog, I noticed someone with one and by reception there was a bowl of water and a bowl with dog treats. I can’t see any reason why there would be issues with taking a dog. If I had one, I would be happy to take it there.
